Tree Farm

Chris Butler

Somewhere,
under the rainbow,
I lazily graze
in the shade,
knowing the grass
will never grow.


Beneath the
breathing pines, I
find comfort in the
dry dirt and yellow
needles, but when
the westerly winds
slowly tow in
the final round
of bloated clouds,
converging where
the three rivers merge,
I head for higher
ground to keep myself
from drowning.


With fertile soil
soggy and seeping,
I stone-sharpen
Indian arrowheads
for my makeshift
bow, because
it’s acceptable to
kill animals if I
make use of
every organ.
